Poem: The Cat Lady

-
The goddess  of cats  surrounded  by purring  felines who gather at their bowls every day only the best fills their stomachs the fresh cream sates their thirst they pull her chariot willingly lie in her arms for comfort they are quick  to defend her  should she  be threatened  their claws  rend flesh  and bone  asunder do not disdain the lady of cats for she has the power.

Poem: Commencement

-
Set up all  the folding chairs for a grand ceremony  an ending to an era  walk across the stage  so many memories  good and bad  some surrounded by loved ones others walk alone today is the first day  of the rest of your life savor the accomplishment  before starting again and this becomes just one chapter of your life.

Poem: Spring Cherry Blossoms

-
The petals  from the blossom  drift down lazily  with the spring breeze  and land softly  on the grass  in a curtain  of pink and peach  and white  like colorful snow  on verdant carpet branches wave in the air still holding unopened buds not ready to arrive yet.

Poem: Surviving the Mental Haze of Life

-
awash in  numbness  I see life  through a  fuzzy lens  push through  fatigue  and a sense  of helplessness  that threatens  to overwhelm  my mind swim in molasses I need to plan every move to conserve energy to think and decide what what is more important but at the  end of the day I have nothing left.

Poem: Under the Sea

-
The world  murky and clear  and the same time  undersea  ghosts  of the drowned  their souls float in the black morass unable to surface but if you dive deeper  the dark becomes light  and the denizens  are like nothing  you have seen before

Poem: Unbroken by the Storm

-
The fury of the storm left nothing untouched  walk in the garden  to see subtle signs  leaves scattered petals broken and bent branches of wood float in the pond torn from trees and suddenly orphaned the storm-bent daffodils as they bowed  to the wind's power  but they are not broken they subtly resisted and live to see the sunshine again.

Poem: Tales of the High Seas

-
a paracosmic world  that exists in one's   imagination  ships on the high seas  their flags raised high the sound of battle  the whistle of  cannonballs a romanticized tale of high stakes and golden plunder pirates in port  as the rum flows  and there is adventure  and treasure to be had.
